An Introduction to Security Risk Insurance

What is security Risk Insurance? Criminal risks, Information & Cyber risks, Kidnap & Ransom risks, Political risks and Terrorism & Political Violence risks.

Organisations across the world have a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex risk environment. The geopolitical situation is in flux, generating broad uncertainty across many regions, including those previously considered stable. Whether the local political dynamic presenting bribery and corruption issues, through to the prevalence of organised crime in parts of the world and, of course, the threat of terrorism, there is increasing pressure to acknowledge and manage this risk.

This pressure comes as organisations are required to demonstrate stronger governance of all risks and to protect people, operations, shareholder value and long-term brand and reputation.
